Juvenile oral lichen planus: a report of 2 cases.

Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease that predominantly affects older patients and occurs much less frequently in the pediatric population. Furthermore, oral lichen planus is extremely rare in childhood with very few cases cited in the literature. The intention of this paper is to contribute two clinically and histologically documented cases of juvenile oral lichen planus cases to the literature. Although a rare occurrence, early recognition and diagnosis of this condition by dental practitioners can have a significant impact on the oral health of affected patients.
